Writer: Texas’ game against Oregon State in Alamo Bowl the 10th-best bowl

For nearly 10 years SI.com writer Stewart Mandel has ranked the postseason bowls, from top to bottom, in order of watchability. Mandel, who admits this season’s crop is poor, says Texas’ game against Oregon State in the Alamo Bowl Dec. 29 is the 10th-best bowl.

“This is a matchup ex-Beavers Jacquizz and James Rodgers (hometown: Richmond, Texas) would have loved,” Mandel writes. “Current Oregon State receivers Markus Wheaton and Brandin Cooks will look to exploit a sloppy Longhorns’ defense.”
